Why this is different

Every result reviewed by Dr. Barbie — personally.

Unlike large functional testing programs where results are reviewed by an unknown provider on a team, you know exactly who is interpreting your labs. This is the panel I run when I want to understand what's actually driving fatigue, weight struggles, and brain fog — and to put cardiovascular risk in true context before it becomes a problem.

What's included

Seven tests. Sixty-nine biomarkers. A complete metabolic and cardiovascular picture.

This panel measures the markers that reveal true cardiovascular risk, metabolic function, and inflammatory status — well beyond what a standard blood panel captures.

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Evaluates your red and white blood cells and platelets, giving a baseline picture of immune function, anemia, and overall blood health.

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

Assesses kidney function, liver health, blood sugar, and electrolyte balance — the foundation of any functional workup.

Advanced Lipid Panel (Cardio IQ)

Goes beyond standard cholesterol by measuring particle size and number — including ApoB and Lipoprotein(a) — giving a much more accurate picture of true cardiovascular risk than a basic lipid panel.

Homocysteine

An often overlooked marker strongly linked to heart disease, stroke, and cognitive decline. Also a key indicator of methylation — your body's ability to repair DNA, regulate hormones, and detoxify. Elevated levels are very treatable when caught early.

High-Sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP)

Measures systemic inflammation, one of the most important predictors of cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunction.

Insulin

Fasting insulin is one of the earliest indicators of insulin resistance, often showing up years before blood sugar becomes a problem.

Hemoglobin A1c

Your 3-month average blood sugar — essential for understanding metabolic health and true diabetes risk.

After your results

This isn't just a lab result. It's a clinical roadmap.

Who this is for

Anyone who wants a proactive, comprehensive look at their cardiovascular and metabolic health.

Especially if you have a family history of heart disease, struggle with weight, experience fatigue or brain fog, or simply want to understand your numbers at a deeper level.
